Meute at the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver
Fresh off their Coachella Week 1 set, MEUTE brought the EMPOR Tour party north to Vancouver’s Commodore Ballroom on Wednesday night, and tore the roof off!
If you’re not familiar, MEUTE is an 11-piece techno marching band from Germany. Yes, that’s a real thing. Brass, drums, and no laptops in sight. They take club bangers—think Disclosure, Deadmau5, Laurent Garnier—and rework them with live instruments. It’s strange on paper, but in person, it’s electric.
The band came out in their signature red jackets and sneakers, instantly flipping the buttoned-up image of a marching band on its head. From the first thump of the bass drum, the crowd was locked in, heads bobbing, arms waving, people fully surrendering to the groove.
There’s no frontman; MEUTE functions like a hive mind. Horns blast melodies, drums keep a relentless 4/4 beat, and the whole group moves constantly, like a techno flash mob. For “Acamar,” they stepped off stage and right into the crowd, turning the Commodore into a rave parade.
The crowd was as mixed as the music: ravers, jazz fans, curious onlookers—all of them dancing like they’d trained for this moment. No phones out, just sweaty joy. And while some knew the source material, it didn’t matter. The energy was infectious. Every drop landed and every build-up hit.
They closed with “Mental Help,” and the room lost it. Coachella might’ve been the bigger stage, but Wednesday night in Vancouver was the real show.
Catch them in Portland (April 17), Oakland (April 19) and Coachella Week 2 (April 20) before they head back to Europe! More info on their website.

Calum Scott Brings His ‘Avenoir Tour’ to the Wiltern in Los Angeles
Calum Scott took the Wiltern stage in Los Angeles on April 3rd, 2026, for his Avenoir Tour.
Calum Scott is a British singer-songwriter who first gained attention on Britain’s Got Talent in 2015, where his emotional cover of “Dancing On My Own” by Robyn became a global hit. Known for his powerful vocals and deeply personal songwriting, Scott blends pop with raw, heartfelt storytelling. His music often explores themes of love, identity, and self-acceptance, earning him a dedicated global fanbase and chart success with songs like “You Are The Reason.”
The theatre filled, and by 9 o’clock everyone was ready to dance, laugh, and cry together. The sense of community was in the air as many of the fans related to the vulnerability in Scott‘s music.
He performed a variety of songs from his discography: some new songs and his hits. My favorite moment was his stripped-back set, when he sang “No Matter What,” a song about him coming to terms with who he was. Tears began to fall throughout the crowd. What a meaningful night for music in Los Angeles.

Syd Taylor at The Belasco in Los Angeles
On Tuesday, March 31st, The Belasco in Downtown LA was packed with fans from both near and far. Syd Taylor, an indie-rock artist from Michigan, supported Goldie Boutilier on her North American tour, The King of Possibilities. From February 24th to April 4th, Syd opened for Boutilier at sixteen sold-out shows.
As Syd’s bandmates stepped onto the stage, the crowd erupted with cheers and chants of “Syd, Syd, Syd!” Soon after, Syd Taylor confidently walked across the stage in her stylish outfit, smiling brightly. She kicked off her set with songs from her new album, “After the Fact,” starting with “Love of Your Life,” then “Time to Go,” and “Leave Me Out of It.”
After parting ways with Stereo Jane, a band heavily inspired by ’90s rock—formed by Syd and her twin sister Emilia, known as Mia—Syd felt a strong desire to find her own artistic and personal identity.
Inspired by bands like Fleetwood Mac and The Beatles, Syd finally broke free from external expectations—no longer told which genre to pursue, whom to share her demo with, or how to present herself on stage. As her own producer, songwriter, and guitarist, she spent three months drawing inspiration from her Los Angeles apartment and charting her own creative path. This ultimately led to her releasing her debut album “After the Fact.”
Syd once said that, during the process of making this album, she felt this was “the first time that [she had] been able to sit down and create something for [herself].” Syd had previously felt like she was prioritizing others and wanted to get as far away from that mindset as possible.
To create an album as raw and reflective as “After the Fact,” Syd needed to discover her artistic style. This led her to find confidence in this new era of her career.
